On tonight's show we bring you a brief but blissful look at the strangest things we could bring to surface this week, including Boeing's Starliner finally launching with crew for the first time ever, sending astronauts to the ISS, a search for Dyson spheres out there in the universe has turned up a few possible examples, a 13-year old has built a working model of Archimedes' famous ancient death ray, and we look once again at the world of the runes and discuss the rune Gebo. All of this and then after the break, we continue our reading series as Frobisher reads more from "Our Haunted Planet," by John A. Keel.
